CONCEALING STUBBORN UNDER EYE CIRCLES

1. PRIME 

Use a primer under your eyes to camouflage, soften, and relax expression lines and wrinkles.

2. CONCEAL

Start off with a small amount of product and build the coverage gradually if needed.

Use either a synthetic brush, or your ring finger and be sure to blend outwards for a natural look.

*When selecting a concealer, go for one 2-3 shades lighter than your foundation.

 Depending on required coverage, select a creme based concealer for maximum coverage, or a liquid based concealer for minimal coverage.

3. SET

Once you are content with the application of your concealer,  SET IT with a light dusting of translucent facial powder which will prevent creasing. This can be done using either a cosmetic brush, or a disposable cosmetic sponge.

I think the makeup artist did an amazing job interpreting what she had envisioned and the end results were fantastic! It was definitely quite a bit of fun.

Reminds me of a modern day Cleopatra.
